ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 15th day of October, 1934.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

PURSUANT to the Fisheries Act, 1908, His Excellency the Governor-General, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, doth hereby make the following regulations.

REGULATIONS.

1. THESE regulations may be cited as the Tonnage Measurement of Fishing-boats Regulations, 1934.

2. These regulations shall come into force on the day following the publication hereof in the Gazette.

3. Regulations numbered 32 to 43 inclusive of the regulations made on the twenty-ninth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two, and published at page 1598 of Gazette No. 46 of the seventh day of July, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two, are hereby repealed.

4. In these regulations, unless inconsistent with the context,-

"Boat" or "fishing-boat" means a vessel of whatever size and however propelled which is used in fishing for purposes of sale.

"Surveyor" or "Surveyor of Ships" means a Surveyor of Ships appointed under the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, or any person authorized to act for a Surveyor.

5. The register tonnage of boats not registered under Part XII of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, shall, for the purposes of the Fisheries Act, 1908, be determined as follows:-

L x B x D x 0·6

100 = under-deck tonnage.

L = Length measured from the after side of the head of the stem to the after side of the head of the stern-post or after part of transom or tuck in case of a transom or tuck stern without post on same at upper part.

B = Extreme breadth of boat outside.

D = Inside depth measured amidships.

(a) In the case of decked boats the measurement for depth shall be taken from the under side of the deck amidships to the upper side of the floor timbers at side of keelson, deducting thickness of ceiling: Provided that where this depth cannot be taken owing to fixed ballast, measurement shall be taken down the pump well and 1 in. per foot deducted from the results of such measurement on account of depth of floor and thickness of ceiling.

(b) In case of break, poop, or other closed in space above the tonnage deck, the length, breadth, and height of each space shall be multiplied together and each product divided by 100 and the quotients obtained added to the under-deck tonnage. The result shall be deemed to be the gross tonnage.

(c) In the case of a boat propelled by steam or mechanical power other than steam, a deduction of 25 per cent. of the gross tonnage shall be made for engine space. The remaining tonnage obtained shall be deemed to be the register tonnage of the boat.
